ESA // PHOTO SHOOT 2

Below I have published my images from my second shoot. I chose to take these photographs in the church as I come from a very religious background and I think a big reason for this is due to the fact Christianity is the main religion for a huge percentage of Portuguese population.

The statue seen on the wall is of Nossa Senhora de Fátima which translates to “Our Lady of Fatima”.
Our Lady of Fatima is a Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary based on the famed Marian apparitions reported in 1917 by three shepherd children at the Cova da Iria, in Fátima, Portugal.

This statue is located in St Thomas Church, Jersey and if often visited by the Portuguese immigrants who live in Jersey.

Other photos in this shoot contain hands holding a prayer book which is in both English and Portuguese.
